Netanyahu’s UN walkout IRINN’s protest account

Sep 24

IRINN describes delegations walking out during Netanyahu’s UN address, street demonstrations and reported arrests. It discusses the Iranian delegation’s photograph protest and recalls the ICC arrest warrant. The programme’s walkout counts, arrest figures and interpretations of Israel’s isolation remain attributed, and the warrant is distinguished from a conviction. Its characterization of the Court’s relationship to the UN is the programme’s claim.

Delegations leave the hall around Netanyahu's September 24 UN address; he calls departing representatives cowards or hypocrites. The reports give different, attributed estimates: Fox says dozens, Vremya says nearly all in one account and hundreds in another, IRINN's headline says 77 while its introduction cites the Guardian for over 70, and a later IRINN feature cites Yedioth Ahronoth for 78. AUF1's 77-country figure includes representatives boycotting or staying away and is not an identical measure of people physically walking out. IRINN discusses the Iranian delegation leaving a Soleimani photograph and Baghaei's approving response. Kan's correspondent says delegates entered shortly before leaving and characterizes it as a provocation; that is the correspondent's interpretation. Vremya and IRINN emphasize Gaza accountability and frame the episode as isolation. No independent common count is supplied. Street demonstrations, arrests, Iceland's later response and the ICC warrant remain separate occurrences.
